The state’s teachers’ union is not happy with a bill introduced late on Monday night by Senate Majority Leader John Flanagan to address teacher evaluations and standardized tests.

New York State United Teachers has been actively pushing a different bill, from Senate Education Committee Chair Carl Marcellino, which ends the use of standardized tests for evaluations of educators, makes the review process of teachers subject to local collective bargaining and reduces students testing.

“I may have been born at night but it wasn’t last night,” NYSUT President Andy Pallotta said in a statement. “Instead of passing a clean bill that has 55 sponsors to reduce testing and fix the evaluation system, Sen. Flanagan is tying it to millions of dollars for the charter industry and his donors, and loopholes for private, religious schools.”

“Our message has not changed. The Senate must pass S.8301 with no strings attached,” he added.

Last month, Flanagan announced the start of an extensive review of Marcellino’s bill.

“This legislation would create a number of reforms to make New York’s education system more efficient, to provide more opportunities for localized control of educational decisions, to make the education system more focused on providing students across the state with ample opportunities for success in the classroom, and to ensure the New York’s educators are provided an opportunity to assist their students meaningfully,” reads the memorandum for Flanagan’s legislation.

In addition to addressing teacher evaluations and testing, the bill expands the cap on charter schools from 460 to 560 and rolls back restrictions on private schools in New York City.

Both bills would prohibit the use of standardized tests on a student’s permanent record.

The fight over teacher evaluations and testing in New York began in 2011 when the state was competing for Race to the Top funding and was brought up again in 2015 when the state’s model was reformed.

UPDATE: Flanagan released a statement on his bill, which is available below.

“I urge my partners in government to work with the members of our Senate Republican Majority to approve this important education reform package so we can deliver an extraordinary result to the people of New York,” he said.
